Marijuana Daily

A recent study shows that 60% of 12th grade students in the United States don't think marijuana usage is harmful. This number has gone up from previous studies. 6.5% of seniors say they smoke daily a number that has tripled from 1993. And 23% of students said they had smoked in the past month. Within the past 2 decades, THC levels in weed have gone up significantly from 3.75 to 15% in today's marijuana cigarettes. What is most concerning is that 12% of 13-15 year olds are using the hallucinogenic drug. But the good news is that cigarette smoking and harder drug use including heroin and cocaine continued on a steady decline among high school students.

Salem Murder Trials

LAST WEEK****
A 14-year old boy pleaded not guilty to murder and rape charges in Salem, Massachusetts. The boys name was Phillip Chism, who has already had a past with violence and depression. A teacher from his school was found dead in the forrest with her through cut open and a note that read, "I hate you all". Her name was Colleen Ritzer and she was a math teacher. He pleaded guilty to murder, aggravated rape, and armed robbery charges today. He will remain bailed without bail. He is most likely a witch and it's the Salem With Trail all over again. 

Violent Crash in Ohio

On the day of Thanksgiving, a runaway car collided with another vehicle, going at a speed around 120 mph. Not until this week, did police release more information and the actual video clip. Patrol officers had been chasing the runaway for a little while before the incident but the car was going too fast.The collision killed two people on Thanksgiving, a couple from Toledo. Andrew Gans, a 24-year old from Kent is charged with vehicular manslaughter after the violent crime on the Ohio Turnpike. He was also probably charged with a speeding ticket...Gans left the scene of the accident without a scratch on his body.
